Another Sunday another loss. Vikings are now 0-4 and are facing a very serious dilemma about the remainder of their season. There are few reasons to be hopeful that the Vikings could string together an 10-2 stretch that would put them in wild card contention at the end of the season, so what is to be done about the elephant in the room (McNabb)? The only thing that should determine whether or not Ponder starts next week is whether or not he is ready. If the Vikings staff thinks he ...
For the past ten years, Jim Bollman has been the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Throughout that time, the Buckeyes have had high flying offenses and high quality stinkers. The 2011 squad is an example of the latter thus far. Until this season, he never had playcalling power.

Just a confusing and confounding week here in Cleveland when it comes to linebackers, the biggest weakness on our defense coming into the season.
So I managed to get an interview to be on the grounds crew for the Minnesota Twins. The idea of this is pretty much a dream job for me. I get to work while i watch baseball. Little did I know this interview would turn out into a full job shadow. I arrive at the ballpark, and am given my visitors pass. I am taken into the bowels of the stadium and arrive in the break room. Nothing too fancy, lots of twins/ target field related posters and pictures and a nice TV and a fridge. ...
